Hailing from Jerz!!! Living in NYC now!!! I'm Just trying to begin a lifestyle change. It's very hard!!!! I found out that its a everyday process. I am so proud of myself. I am starting to have more control and will power that i didn't know i had it before. All of my life. I've been view as the "thick chick" or "fat girl". WHen i was alot smaller I was still viewed as a big girl. I never really weighed myself. I just embrace it and said "FORGET IT". After giving birth of my son. I was probably the smallest I've been for a long time at 180 pds. I wasn't motivated enough to keep it off. More and more I'm seeing and hearing of young people dying from health problems. Thats when I woke up and said WOW!!!! I have to do this for my health. I want to be around for my child. I felt like I was heading down the wrong path. I'm still in the beginning process of my journey. I already feel proud of myself. Even if i haven't lost a pound. Just changing my diet and my consumption of wanting to eat and have a lil "SNACKY POO". I feel like i've already conquer the hard part of loosing weight. I'm open to all advice and suggestions. Meeting new people.

Update!!! 6/19/08

Okay!!! Its been over two months since i Started sparking and changing my eating habits. I am loving the new me. Of course, I get really down some days because I feel like I am slipping. But when people give me compliments or my spark friends give me great advice. I really feel like Go girl you are really doing it. I can't believe how exercise and eating well is changing my life. I found myself giving advice to others. LOl Lil Miss Know it all!!! I love to exercise. Even if I don't go to the gym. I go for a walk or Billy Blanks on demand. Yeah!!! Billy is my boyfriend. HE kicks my butt and very sexy to look at. I love chocolate!!! Lol Anyway, I am setting new goals. Yes!!! I want 150 so bad I can taste it. But I am trying to loose these 20 pounds before sept 7. Hopefully, before than. My weight has become a lil stagnat. Hope I spelled that right~!!! You know what I mean. Thank everyone for their advice.

Update 9/23/08 I'm going to kick these fifty pounds in the butt. I am close!!! I can taste it. I've had so many downfalls lately as a result of no time to really exercise or preparing the best meals for myself. However, i was still able to maintain some great habits. I still managed to loose six more pounds. I was so happy. When i was weighed and measure yesterday because I haven't been to the gym in a............ Okay!!! I will keep that to myself. Everywhere I go people are giving me compliments. My father and my sister's boyfriend both said they've notice a change in my weight. I was happy beyond belief because men never notice anything. SOrry Guys!!! Also, my gym buddies told me yesterday that I lost alot even my butt!!! But, i really don't want to loose that. I am going have to do some squats and butt exercise to pump it back up.lol They even asked me what I was doing to loose weight. Isn't that great!!! Someone asking ME about loosing weight!!! Unbelieveable!!! Anyway, I open to more suggestion and advice.

Hello!!! Its been close to a month since I've been sparking. OmG!!! I've been trying to stay in portion range. I haven't done too much of exercise either. I feel like my life is only consumed by work, mothering (which I love) and school. But, next semster I've planned on schedule my job and classes better. So I will have time for myself and my gym because I am so determined to loose weight. I still get compliments and some say I do not need to loose anymore weight. Even though my goal is fifty pds away. I am so eager to get there. Pls!!! Pray for me people!!! I need all of the support because I am trying to stay afloat and reach my goal. Thanks for all the support!!!

Hey girl, thanks for the goodie. I told you I will always be around! And sparkmobile is OK. Like you really can't do much and I was trying to search through my food list and it wasn't happening. So that was a negative for me!

I like you will be working out at home today. After work I am going to eat a little something, let that digest, do a DVD and run out to get a few things back in the city. I know I should just do it right after work, BUT if I don't get my workout done ASAP then I won't do it when I get home u know?
